2 of the drawings. with a standard 14, andpivotally connected To all whom it may concern: I

I to thisstandard there is shown l Be it known that I, SAMUEL J UEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Halliday, in the county of Dunn and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sugar-Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to the class of kitchen and table articles, and more particularly to having a finger engaging portion 16 located adjacent to the cap The neck is provided With a passage 17 arranged to receive a sliding valve 18 pivotally connected as shown at 19 to the lever 15.

A cover sugar bowls or -similar receptacles or conat 21' to the outer end of the lever 15, and is t ainers, and has for an object to provide a yieldlngly engaged with the en end ot the valve of simple construction whereby a pre determined quantity of sugar may be dis-- charged from the bowl.

A further object of this invention isto provide a device of the character described whereby sugar or the like may be kept in a sanitary condition and held proof against insects and dust.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and it neck y means of a spring 22 raving one leg '23 engaged with the lever 15, and having its other leg 24 arranged to bear upon the cover. A leaf spring 26 is carried by the neck and is arranged to bear normally upon the under side of the lever and is arranged for operation valve in an open position.

In use, the sugar bowl is inverted, and sugar may thus be deposited. in theneck oi spirit of the invention. n the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate sirnilarparts in the several views, Figure l'is a side view oi the present sugar bowl, Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view, Fig. 3 is a detail View through the neck of the bowl showing the valve closed, in dotted lines and open in full lines.

Referring now more particularly to the drawings, there is shown a sugar bowl 5 having an enlarged base portion 6, and curved or concaved side walls 7, as shown. The bowl, is provided with aninlot or filling passage 8 which is normally closed by means of a cap 9 having an internally threaded por tion 10 engaged with an external threaded portion 11, of the bowl. The bowl is pro} vided with a handle 12 of any suitable con struction.

A contracted neck -13;is bowl, its upper It IS obvious that upon depressing the lever 15 to close the valve 18 the cover 20 will be raised to permit sugar outwardly of the valve 18 to be discharged.

While the device is especially adapted for use, as a sugar bowl it will be readily undeu stood that the same may be used as a syrup pitcher or container ion various uses in the kitchen.

What is claimed is:

n a device of the class described, the com- ;ncck at one side, of a pivotally mounted lever carried by said neck, a cover carried by. said lever and yieldingly engaged withthe outer end of said neck, and a sliding va ve carried by said lever and disposed in spaced relation to said cover.
